Our Fair Work Monitor survey in Cambodia focuses on wages and the costs of living. 77% of the workers we interviewed in the garment industry was female. 99% of respondents have a basic wage below the living wage threshold. The average wage gap between the basic wage (208 dollars per month) and the living wage (232 dollars per month) is around 10%, meaning that if wages were increased by just 10%, the average worker would be earning enough to meet basic living standards.
